Anyone can read a book or follow an online program, but it can be tricky for parents to know what might actually work for them and their child. The advice I give parents is evidence based and tailored around each family's unique circumstances and individual needs. I have three adult children and three grandchildren. I understand what it’s like to be sleep deprived and to struggle with sleep and parenting in general.
As far as sleep training methods go, I know that what might suit one family may not not suit another. I also know first hand that listening to your child cry is the worst thing on earth! If I can help parents teach their children how to sleep well with minimal crying, all the better. That's why I advocate gentle sleep training methods whenever I think it would work best. I also realise that sometimes a more ‘hands off’ approach might suit a particular family better. I can guide families in what to do with this approach as well. I would never suggest a parent leave their child to cry themselves to sleep on their own.
Are you struggling with a lack of sleep due to bedtime battles or disrupted nights? Perhaps you simply value sleep but you lack the confidence or knowledge on how and where to start working on a solution. Perhaps your kids are driving you mad because they don't listen. You end up yelling and then feeling guilty. In any case, you need look no further. I’m confident that I can help you and that you will see improvement in the first few days of working with me. My packages are simple. They are designed to give you all the information, guidance and support you need to start working on a solution right now. Great sleep has a positive knock on effect on all other aspects of life, so what are you waiting for?
It’s a privilege for me to work with families and be welcomed into their lives as their guide and support. I believe it’s all about working together towards personal family goals through relationship and trust.
